Honolulu, HI — AtlantisChain, a Layer-0 public blockchain, has surpassed 600 million blocks as of January 15, 2026, just 227 days after its launch. This milestone cements its status as the world's fastest blockchain in terms of block height, block time, and transactions per second (TPS), according to the company's announcement.
The achievement comes 48 days after AtlantisChain was first recognized as the world's #1 fastest blockchain on November 27, 2025, a development covered by over 400 major media outlets across 51 countries. The network boasts a capacity of 3,600,000 TPS with a block time of 0.031 seconds, and no other blockchain has matched its actual performance, according to internal checks of Web3 data.
In its first 179 days of operation, AtlantisChain surpassed the block heights of all existing blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and EOS, in some cases within hours. For example, it exceeded Bitcoin's block height in just 9 hours and Solana's in 145 days. The company attributes this speed to its Proof of Light (PoL) algorithm and QuantumLock security system, both developed by a U.S.-based team with roots at MIT.
AtlantisChain has also launched over 70 ATC-20 standard cryptocurrencies, including the gold-indexed Atlantis Gold (AU), oil-indexed Atlantis Oil (OIL), and stablecoins CNY Coin (CNYC) and Atlantis USD (USDA). These assets are designed for use within the Atlantis ecosystem and will serve as payment currencies on the upcoming Atlantis Exchange Pro platform.
The blockchain's capabilities have implications for global commerce and decentralized finance. Its near-zero transaction fees and 0.093-second cross-border finality enable real-time payments and applications. The company emphasizes that its USPTO-registered trademark and sovereign time system, Atlantis Time, further differentiate it from competitors.
AtlantisSpace, a project to extend blockchain infrastructure into outer space, has entered the planning phase, aiming to ensure uninterrupted operations and interplanetary capabilities. The company invites stablecoin users, developers, institutions, and governments to adopt its network.
Key resources include the blockchain explorer at ATCscan.io, the cold wallet at AtlantisWallet.org, and the official purchase portal for stablecoins at ATC20.com. The ATC-20 token directory is available at ATC20Tokens.site.
AtlantisChain's rapid growth and technological advancements position it as a leader in the Web3 space, potentially reshaping how decentralized networks scale and operate.
